Would it be ok for the hubby to be sporting a bigger rock than his wife?

My wife's 4.75 ring is a prefect fit on my pinky. :whistle:

NO!! I need not worry as my husband doesn't put a value on jewelry. That one is for me!
 
If he liked jewelry and she didn't, sure. Otherwise I would think both should have comparable if both like. Then there is DH who doesn't care for jewelry so I get the bling!
 
If he likes them more than she does, sure!
 
My Opal pinkie ring has a larger stone than my wife's Opal ring, however her design had a scalloped halo and diamonds and she wanted the smaller stone of the 2 I had cut for us from a single piece of Black Opal. I got lucky :saint:
 
As long as it is okay with her and the ring is just sitting in the box unworn, go for it!!
 
We are living in the age of gender equality - make that 3ct Octavia happen ;) :D
 
Yes i think so! My grandpa used to sport huge gemstone rings while my grandma only wore a jade bangle most days. I actually hope my son will like gems so I can pass my jewelry to him...he can reset them how he likes.
 
Wouldn't bother me in the least! :wavey:

What are you up to now? *squints eyes and stares*
 
If we’re talking about you, absolutely!!

But seriously, if I saw that I’d just think that he must love jewels more than she does. No biggie in my book.
 
definitely not okay in my household, but maybe in yours???
 
Actually, my man's diamond is bigger than any in my engagement ring. Of course, I wear a big tourmaline with a double halo of diamonds so it's easy to beat me. I think the diamond in his ring is about .33ct.
 
Dancing Fire, How does your wife feel about you getting a bigger diamond?
If it doesn’t bother your wife, go for it!
 
I'm with @Calliecake Who cares what else thinks?

What does Mrs. DancingFire think?
 
Of course. What's his is mine. What's mine is mine. :halo:
 
Didn’t you ask this before? I can definitely see you having a bigger diamond than mrs DF.
 
i think it is ok... i am also saying that the conversation must have occured prior to the purchase as well.

From what i can recall, Mrs DF would be totally fine with you having a bigger rock.
and, if you do not care for societal norms, which i do not think you do, as you are wearing diamonds, then go for it.
 
However, you'd have to have a HUGE Octavia to face up as big as your wife's diamond, DF!

What do you consider a liberal size Diamond Dancing Fire.? My thoughts are if your retirement funds are on track and you have a great safety net put aside for emergencies and you would like a new diamond, go for it. My entire life has been planning for our future and helping family member in need of help along the way. We’ve made some hard decisions that enabled us to live comfortably. I’ve finally got to the point where my happiness also is important. It took me decades to get here. I finally learned that I can’t save everyone and my happiness was also important. I’ve earned all I have and I’m doing my best to except the fact that I too deserve nice things. There were many, many years where I put my needs last. I wasn’t able to have a family and at the end of the day that was the most important thing to me. I’ve been able to help many family members, which has been a great joy to me.

Exactly! ...At times the more you try to help them the more they will depend on you. At some point being too nice is not the right answer.

A liberal size diamond? ...IMO, > 6 cts . :bigsmile:

I know you are correct Dancing Fire but there are times when it really hurts not doing everything possible to help the ones you love. I am definitely a work in progress.

I love the size you list for a liberal diamond, I definitely need a liberal diamond!

I'm guilty of doing the same. This happened just a few weeks ago...
A friend of mine asked me to loan him $10K b/c he lose a lot of money at the casino where he work. I think he borrowed money from his coworkers and he needed to pay them back ASAP. I loaned him the 10k so he can pay back to whomever he owe.

Then a week goes by, believe it or not he texted me again and wanted to borrow another 20K :rolleyes: this time he went to Reno, NV. and loss more $$$. I thought about not helping him, but then I texted him back and said... I'll loan you another 10K that's it!!. I know what I'm doing is wrong, b/c it doesn't help a gambler by loaning him more money. Is like giving a drug addict more money to buy more drugs . :wall:

btw; My wife have no knowledge of this $20K loan.
